I do not find the argument that “newspapers be newspapers” excuses this, when it clearly only goes one way, and very forcefully at that.

And therefore it would be extremely interesting to find the origin of this push. Is it systemic, i.e. always present in some form due to humans’s generous nature? Is it due to more people living in cities that we have to organize in such a way (DEI-Covid-Feminism-GW or ostracization)? Is it, as the conspiracy theorists say, a small group of influential people? Is it the Russians who sponsor those groupes to divide us?
Show HN: I made an AI coach that listens in your interviews and shows answers
You can use it live during your interview or practice mocks interviews. It can also solve Leetcode and IQ questions on the go. Making online and telephone interviews easy peasy.
It's possible to make a fair judgement about what a government is doing, and in many places people trust their government and accept their actions.

But it's notable that the Israeli government refuses to submit itself to an election, especially in the face of widespread popular demands.
To add to this: that "tell/sell/give to a foreigner" portion applies universally anywhere, and (the way I was taught), it can happen by proxy/passively.

Example: You put up on a whiteboard in a conference room an engineering drawing of a Air-to-Air missile's internals. When you leave the room, you forget the drawing on the board.

Later that day, somehow, a foreign visitor is walking around the office and peeks inside, and sees the whiteboard.

Congratulations, you just committed an ITAR violation.(Why? The apparent logic behind this rule is that spy agencies regularly employ people with photographic memories)

Another example: You take your phone that has your work email/chat on vacation to a foreign country. On arrival, your phone gets confiscated for "inspection" and then is handed back hours later. Bam. ITAR violation.

A nice side effect of this, by the way, is that you just leave all work stuff behind when you go on vacation. No pesky work-calls while chilling on the beaches of Portugal. Don't want to go breaking the law now, would we?
I would argue that's an apples to oranges comparison.

Since by international law definition Gaza is an occupied territory, for one, and it's perhaps one of the most disproportionate "conflicts" in modern history.

Re: journalistic integrity - I thought the idea with investigative journalism is allow people to speak freely - and then let the individual determine how truthful the source is based on a multitude of factors? Couldn't you also argue the 4th most powerful military, and arguably best funded and most sophisticated militaries, will be the most effective at generating and distributing propaganda?
Regarding techie people not using Windows, you’re living in a bubble.
Then you'll have to clarify what you mean by "random" when you say "pick a random point".

Unless you mean that every point on a spherical surface centered on x would have a lower expected squared error than x itself?

It is based on culture

It is not enough to have genes.

And since most Māori people speak English it would simply be stupid to base it on language as that language would be English not Te Reo Māori
Attention just allows the model to attend to elements across the input sequence. The feed forward is what gives it (and basically all other architectures) its universal function abilities. The only reason why we don't use dense layers directly across the input sequence and instead go for things like convolution, recursion or transformers, is because that is prohibitively expensive computationally. But replacing the dense layer with n-grams would make LLMs exactly what so many people falsely believe them to be right now: Pure stochastic parrots instead of functions that can actually learn to generalize from examples.
That barrier looks bad, but i think the designer is doing two things by putting it inside of the sidewalk. It looks to be doing double duty as a normal fence, something to keep pedestrians and such from falling into the gully. If it were a wooden fence nobody would notice it. But they went with a metal barrier normally used for cars that now looks out of place.

The other possibility is that the sidewalk may have been added afterwards. Turn the right lane into a sidewalk or bike lane and the old vehicle barriers will indeed appear out of place. There are far stranger thing out there on the roads. Strange doesn't mean evil.

A third possibility is that the sidewalk may be designed for vehicle use. This is most common in "traffic calming" devices such as those tiny roundabouts. The sidewalk is kept low so that the occasional long truck (ie fire trucks) can still negotiate a corner by driving partially onto the sidewalk. If we want obstacles to slow cars down, we must still think about emergency vehicles. Even the most dedicated anti-car advocate doesn't dare complain about ambulances driving through pedestrian zones.
Different (overlapping) time spans

Probably different measuring / classifications at play too. For example, they may be including independent journalists in one set vs only recognized outlets in another.

edit, they have the following note in the barometer

This is not true. We don't apply this "rule" to any other establishment, e.g. people don't say "I'm going to Burger King's" or "I'm going to Costa's".

There's nothing to analyze: "Tesco's" is just wrong. It's not the name of the business.

We can draw the line when they report proven false information and never apologize for reporting so.

We can draw the line when they say one thing on English Al Jazeera and another on Arabic Al Jazeera.

We can draw the line when their reporters were (since then eliminated) active member of Hamas rocket teams.
I think it is not the kind of conflict where you pick a side. There are legitimate and illegitimate claims on both sides. As a bystander I try to evaluate specific actions, not choose a favorite.
The fundamentals change all the time. When I learned to code everybody was high on Java, you had to know your design patterns, craft beautiful inheritance hierarchies and all kinds of other things that we now laugh at as being very silly. But people were dead serious about it!

This art is still young, we are still finding our feet and I don’t think certifications are beneficial until we do. What we need is more experimentation and free thinking not a general ossification.

(Ideal would be a distributed approach with semantic Web and such. But I'd settle for a centralized site that wanted to be a lot better, and was capable of that.)
I would expect it depends on where the lookup table enters the picture. If the table lookup is at the end of a dependency chain, it's not going to stall anything and then you're putting less strain on the branch predictor/reordering machinery.

The article is using pext, which is different from a regular table lookup. While it has horrible latency and overhead on older chips, on Zen3 it appears to decode to a single uop with a latency of 3, and on Haswell it also decodes to one uop with a latency of 3. So it's not as bad as a regular table lookup as long as you're on a new enough processor.

It's also possible to do vectorized lookup table loads if your lookup table is small enough and you have a modern CPU, see http://0x80.pl/notesen/2016-03-13-simd-lookup-pshufb.html and http://0x80.pl/notesen/2019-02-03-simd-switch-implementation...

Censorship occurs on most of the major platforms, targeting specific topics or phrases, instead of outright banning channels; arguably to be as discrete as possible and not spook the herd, and where Twitter-X is going to allow the most information to flow - arguable more lies, but arguably also more truth.

I’ve never heard of Email Octopus.

Too cheap to stay in business is a heuristic that avoids the work of detailed analysis.

The basis of the heuristic is that cheap incentives cutting corners —- cutting corners has a large effect on profit when margins are low.

Cheap also pursues a market segment biased toward cost saving rather than growing revenue. Companies focused on growing revenue align better with companies similarly focused.

Finally, as the OP’s question might suggest, hoping low price will be enough is often a way of avoiding the hard work of sales.

That’s a positive feedback cycle. The lower the price the less money there is for sales and service and the more a company must rely on low price.

But hey, you might be right even though I’ve heard of Oracle but not Email Octopus.

Short answer: Yes I think so.
In the USSR, being unreliable (неблагонадёжный, look into Great Terror of the 30s history) and capable of some useful to the regime skills could land you into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharashka . Poland in the 40-50s was slightly milder, but not by a lot.

> It is based on culture

If one can define culture without relying on biological heredity, sure again. It would be better, however, to address the underlying issue: lack of cross-cultural knowledge that causes the reduced outcomes. (And why Māori students aren't getting into those programmes in a race-neutral process.)
A product I worked on used a complex scheme of encoding some 4-5 ids into an integer by reserving certain integer ranges etc. It was super inflexible and predictably caused issues when their 16-bit ids weren't enough for new projects.

It was also very difficult to work with. I had to refactor the lovecraftian mess that generated them for an entire project of thousands of nodes. If they didn't come out exactly the same, a technician would have to spend days manually updating physical units to match the new ids. Thank God for unit tests.
Like any decision, the difference is how it is made (e.g. a vote in parliament versus an executive order), how long it remains in force (a limited time while a investigation is done versus indefinitely), and how accountable the decision makers are.

All countries are on a spectrum, there is no clear line between shiny democracy and brutal dictatorship. They all have institutions that look similar on the surface. A democracy is not going to stop having a police force just because some police states also have one, for example.

So yes, some democracies ban some media spreading propaganda for foreign interests, but the details matter.
Netanyahu has also said that he intends to do an operation in Rafah regardless of whether Hamas gives up the remaining hostages.

Israel is also responsible for 3/4 of all journalist deaths in the last year.
I can provide pictures in evidence if the down voter needs it.
I am Jewish, and that's pretty much how I feel. Israel wants criticism of itself to be seen as antisemitic, which means that anything Israel does that warrants criticism (e.g. killing children) ends up driving people towards antisemitism.
That’s not the point. In addition to any inherent advantages for children of graduates from elite universities, there is an explicit bias in their favor for admissions decisions.
Many other engineering disciplines have a PE exam, including mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. I'm not sure why you believe that software engineering is somehow more difficult to test in a rigorous manner than those fields.

In point of fact, computer science did at one point have an official equivalent PE exam, but it was bafflingly removed a few years ago though I'm not entirely clear on the reason.

This is exactly what happens when you don't gate keep enough - employers lose all trust in potential candidates core competencies, and thus we have the increasing arms race of 40 hour multi project 12 course interviews.
I think there is a huge difference between the government blocking access to a media outlet versus hotels choosing to no longer display said media outlet on their televisions.

AFAIK, there has been no ban. It would probably face some backlash given the First Amendment right to freedom of press. (Though I'm not sure that truly extends to the press of a foreign country?)
It's only "effectively" the same thing if ByteDance / China decide to take the loss over selling.

Also, the law could be changed or overruled in the next year. Don't count chickens before eggs hatch?
China invades Taiwan and goes anywhere near the island’s TSMC fabs, you can bet the stock will be affected. They might have fabs in the rest of the world but my impression was it is still a pretty fragile chain
The model weights themselves can't do that, it's just not how single-pass token-by-token generation works. Even if you got rid of tokens and went byte-by-byte there's no improvement. To do what you are saying you'd have to keep model weights secret forever. I hope your private military forces defending the datacenter are well trained and motivated.
I've read the article. One counterpoint though:

The reason stated on why Hamas affirmed the rape story was false wasn't 'because it backfired and made civilians flee'. This never happened,and the justifications is too convoluted. No, they took a page out of IRA and ETA's: total transparency. They want people to believe what they say, and for that, you can't be caught lying. I don't know if it's recent or not, but that's also the reason why the death toll reported by Hamas is lower than the one expected by the US and most military intelligence. If a news is from a Hamas official spokesman, it's likely true (might be misleading, but always factually true)

Shame on Al-Jazeera to let liars on air, but to be fair, that 24h news for you.
The article touches upon how news stories shift the way problems are thought about, often in a way where problems stemming from cars are played down. This one is a go-to for me in showing how that works and what to do about it, it's Cam Cycle breaking down a news story about a collision: https://www.camcycle.org.uk/magazine/newsletter110/article8/

I can btw recommend following the World Bollard account the images are sourced from. I find the playful seriousness hilarious.

It's sad that we need bollards so many places. Both for safety in regards to accidents. A more humane design of a street would make it impossible to speed too much or put pedestrians in harms way - if you need two hundred bollards somewhere along a street, other measures should've been taken instead (like traffic calming). But also because without them, some drivers will drive wherever, park wherever. No pedestrian zone remain untouched by cars without bollards. In my city we had to petition to get them up to keep cars out from somewhere they weren't allowed to be.
Did you tell them that AI was not allowed?
I never noticed that, though "doesn't require a closing tag" and "requires that there is no closing tag" ought to have been hints for me.
Lots of countries limit what you can name yourself. I very much doubt having a special apostrophe in your name can be a legal requirement.

Either way, apostrophes in names is quite uncommon in many parts of the world, and they are very likely to be ignored even on paper forms in those areas, if they are even allowed.

In general, each area has certain limits on what kinds of names if allows/understands, and it is up to the minority to adapt one way or another. It's very reasonable to want an Irish or maybe even British system to recognize a name like O'Reilly, but it's not really something you can expect of a Japanese system. Just as much as you shouldn't expect a name like 田中 to be recognized in France.
Well, Al Jazeera is or had been banned in many Arab countries.

Also, this measure is temporary, only lasting 45 days.
>that's what the Macintosh is of the demo Steve Jobs saw at Xerox PARC.

It's like the stories of people with the last name "Null" who get errors when trying to enter their name into websites. If that's true then I don't want to think about how poorly built (and insecure) those systems must be.

He's playing with the same rulebook of Slobodan Milošević - He's trying to make apparent to everybody that if he goes down, his own country will go down with him.

Frankly, it feels like the only hope for an end to this conflict is in the hands of the internal Israeli political opposition. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not stopped, we're gonna see the same... "approach" used with Palestinian people applied to whatever internal resistance is left.

But of course any of that is completely independent of whether using SSB or not. Modulation used doesn't really change wave characteristics to such significant extent. It's just that SSB is much more effective, this way or another, so it will probably get used in cases like that.
Fun fact: "-ize" is a valid British spelling (but "-yze", e.g. in "analyze" isn't!)

Well, Kernel follows the upstream fairly well, so unless something catastrophic like Spectre and the like happens, you follow the upstream closely. Currently Testing runs 6.7.12 from April, 24.

Firefox follows upstream from 24-48h behind, unless something big like t64 transition is happening (which happens once every 5 years or so). Unstable currently provides 125.0.3. If you wish, you can use Mozilla's official Firefox builds updates which arrive as soon as new versions are released. However, Debian hardens Firefox to its own standards.

Other libraries and everything follows pretty close to upstream when the distro is not frozen for release.

Also, Stable has the "Patches in 24h even if upstream doesn't provide" guarantee (which we have seen during Bash's RCE bug). This is what testing and unstable lacks.

So, it's no FUD. It's nuanced. As I said before. Using testing and unstable needs some experience and understanding how a distribution works. Stable is install and forget.

> or all the other computers on the same "internal" network.

Considering we manage all the other computers in the same internal network, I'm sure they're fine. They all run prod-ready software. Some BSD, rest is Linux.
I find it difficult to tell how their reports translate to objective numbers. For example, the United States’ ranking fell from 45 to 55 in the last year. Here are the reports for those years:

https://web.archive.org/web/20230817030548/https://rsf.org/e...

https://web.archive.org/web/20240505202537/https://rsf.org/e...

As far as I can tell, the only negative differences between these two reports are that a reporter was killed while investigating a murder by the murder suspect (who is now in jail and on trial), and that Biden “has come under criticism for failing to press US partners like Israel and Saudi Arabia on press freedom.” Falling ten places is a significant change (and is called out in the preface to the whole report)—are these two things really enough to justify such a change, or is the ranking sourced from more data not present in the report?

Here’s another story about Reporters Without Borders, about the first time I dug into one of their publications. In 2018, I read a report they published listing the six most dangerous countries for journalists: India, Yemen, Mexico, Syria, Afghanistan, and the United States. It described how in Mexico journalists are executed by cartels and organized crime, how journalists in Yemen die in prison due to mistreatment, how in Syria journalists were killed in airstrikes and taken hostage by Islamic militants, how in India Hindu nationalist mobs would run down journalists with trucks… and how in the US, four journalists were murdered by a stalker angry at a 2011 story the newspaper had published (subsequently jailed, tried, and found guilty of mass murder); and two more were killed by a falling tree. Somehow these two cases were enough to warrant the United States being called out with the other five countries. And it made the headlines everywhere, of course, because it was the midst of Donald Trump’s presidency.

I think what really makes the situation uniquely toxic is that after reading your comment, I genuinely have no idea which side you're referring to that you think is getting total impunity.

Note: You don't need to reply and specify which. Apparently you've picked a side, as have I. No point debating that here I think. But each side would claim that the other is committing war crimes and inhuman acts and not being held to account.
